Hi

Just did a little hack on logic_tree.c in order to identify IBM OS/400.

Without this, xprobe would identify OS/400 boxes as "Novell (FreeBSD
4.3-current(?)". Main differences between Novell and OS/400:

- TTL is 128 for Novell and 64 for OS/400
- OS/400, as opposite to Novell, replies to ICMP Timestamp queries
- Every reply from OS/400 (echo or tstamp) is marked with TOS=32

I used the latter approach, since TTL can be deceptive with boxes many hops
away and Timestamp would require a new packet to be issued.

Use at your own risk :)

[root@brutus xprobe-0.0.2]# diff logic_tree.c
../xprobe-0.0.2patched/logic_tree.c
